    Guys don't pretend Campbell is lying to you guys. You know it's the truth. This doesn't mean Pac can't fight, it just means that Roach knows who NOT to fight.

    I tend to agree. Floyd would win the fight handily in my estimation, whereas Cotto and Marquez have legitimate shots. Popkins post says it all really, Pacquiao took on the best opposition at every weight he campaigned in besides Lightweight. Are we supposed to believe he purposely avoided Campbell because he was black? Campbell doesn't sell tickets, and isn't in Pacquiao's class anyhow. Nate has an agenda though, by coming out with this crap he might lure Manny into a fight with him. What's NALLEGE's excuse?

    I hope Campbell isnt talking about himself cause he was never amongst the best black fighters.

    Pac fights the best fighters regardless of race.

    Neither did Diaz...yet PAc chose Diaz over Nate, and he forgot about Guzman at 130. Face it, Campbell is right even if you hate him, or what he is saying. Hollywood loves Pac, but the hood don't and won't until he fights a good black fighter.

    I'm not so sure about Floyd-Pac. But that's a debate for another thread. Campbell is just pissed that Bradley exposed him as an old quitter before he got a Pacquiao-sized payday, Manny's resume speaks for itself. I dunno why NALLEGE bothers making these comments, it gives him a bad name and he shouldn't do it, it's silly.

    According to some idiots Pac should have fought Gayner instead of Barrera and JMM.

    Cotto is black! Half-black, but that still qualifies. And Manny wants to fight Mayweather soon.

    PAc fights brawlers, old guys, and used up guys. Pac fights tailor made guys where as Floyd fights every kind of fighter. Both Floyd and Pac have a right to pick their opponent, it's just that PAc's aren't black, and haven't been for almost 9 years.

    It was a lot more fun hearing guys like Toney and Nate talking mess when they were still relevant. Until Campbell finds a way to handle Tim Bradley, I think he just needs to leave Pacquiao alone.

    Campbell needs to finish a fight before he starts talking trash. Pac fought the best available opposition throughout his career. And the best in the
    lower weights were all Hispanic fighters, not Black. I see were Campbell is going with this, he just wants a payday. If Pac beats Cotto, he will be fighting the best black fighter in Floyd Mayweather.

    All you have to do is check Pac's resume when he was at 122-130, and see the names outside of the big ones that PAc fought. PAc has fought a bunch of no name fighters mixed in with big names. He could've faced a capable black fighter.

    i'll say this Pac's best chance to beat floyd is an early KO....i say this because Floyd has to get used to the fighter.....Zab early was faster once he got used to it...all down hill....Pac will have to win early...Once Floyd is locked on ......he usually DOMINATES the back half of the fight.
